As a watercolor pour artist, my work embraces spontaneity and abstraction, often incorporating mixed media to deepen the expression. Inspired by the natural world, there’s a strong pull to wander God’s creation—whether painting en plein air or capturing photographs for studio reference. Stylized colors blend together to create pieces that reflect this deep connection to nature.

I’m thankful to be a Daniel Smith Brand Ambassador and a Signature Member of both the Louisiana Watercolor Society and Women in Watercolor.

Much of my work is inspired by time spent in nature, where I feel closest to God—Through abstract forms and poured washes, I try to echo that sense of peace and presence.

Mostly self-taught, my journey has been fueled by exploration. Art feels meant to be shared, which is why teaching has always been close to my heart. For over eight years, I taught art to at-risk youth and children's classes before shifting to adult workshops in 2019. I love turning my own studies and experiments into lessons that encourage freedom and joy in watercolor.
